At the meeting of the Senatorial Re
turn Judges, on the 19th instant, an at
tempt was made by a few unscrupulous
Radical politicians to cheat Hiram
Findlay, Senator elect from this dis
trict, out of the certificate of election.
It appeared that at the meeting of the
board of Return Judges for Somerset
county, the Return Judge from Alle
gheny township did not present a cer
tificate of the number of votes polled
for the several candidates signed by the
election officers, but only handed in the
tally payer, which he supposed to be a
sufficient return. The board refused to
count the vote of that township from
the tatty paper , but sent the Allegheny
Judge after his certificate, which, by
mistake, had been sealed up in the bal
lot-box. The board waited until mid
night for the re-appearance of the Re
turn .Judge, hut as lie had some fifty
miles to travel he did not reach Somer
set until half past 1- o'clock, in the
morning, just half an hour after the
Radical Judges left the meeting. The
Democratic Judges, however, remain
ed, and received, and counted the Alle
gheny return, and elected one of their
number, as provided by law, to r<*pre
sent the Hoard of Return Judges of
Somerset county in the meeting of Sen
atorial Return Judges. The Radical
Judges in their haste to get away he
fore the return of the Allegheny Judge,
who iiad been sent after his certificate
by their own direction, did not com
plete their work in any particular.—
They did not wait for the addition of
the returns of the several districts of
the county, butsignodall the necessary
papers in blank, leaving their whole
duty to be performed by their clerks.
Under tlie decision of Attorney Gene
ra! Meredith, in the Cofi'roth-Koontz
case, it was the duty of the Return
Judges to adjourn till the next day, so
that the whole vote of the county
might ho received and counted. Rut
they imagined that an advantage might
be gained for Mr. Scull, by omitting
Allegheny township from the count,
and, therefore, hastened to disperse.
This little project to nullify the will of
the people of this Senatorial district,
however, has most signally failed. The
Roard of Senatorial Return Judges pre
ferred to receive the complete rather
than the partial return from Somerset,
sunt n ewrtifieate of election win given
to Mr. Findlay signer! by all the Judg
es and attested by John G. Fisher,
Democrat, and M. A. Points, Republi
can, tlietwo clerks.
The Inquirer , of last week, has the
following editorial comments on this
subject:
"There seerus to be 110 evidence of
fraud in the returns of Allegheny town
ship, and the objection to it is on the
ground of irregularity. The closeness
of the Senatorial vote seems likely to
provoke a contest and t his is most likely
the beginning of it. We are not pre
pared to indorse theaetiouof the Som
erset return Judges, as we believe they
would have done better to have ad
journed to the next day and waited for
the full returns. We think the election
should ho contested hut do not believe
this the best way to begin. The move
ment however has a precedent som
what similar in the case of Koontzand
t'otfroth in the Congressional contest of
1861, and as it has that famous Demo
era tic precedent the Democracy cannot
uonoistcntly object to a dose of llieir
own medicine.
This is tantamount to an admission
that Mr. Fiwllay is fairly entitled to
the certificate of election. The Inquirer
might have gone further and said that
there is not even an allegation of fraud
in Allegheny township. That district
gave Mr. Findlay 10 majority, which
is not larger than its usual Democratic
majority. Hut the Inquirer seems to
think that the election should be con
tested. 1 f there is no a I legation of fraud,
why should it la-eontested ? Simply bo
cause Mr. Kindlay's majority is small
and Radical trickery in the Senate will
find away to blot it out? Is that the
only reason ? As for the precedent al
leged to have been set by the Demo
crats in the c'oflfroth-Koontz ease, the
odds make the diHerouce. In that case
Mr. CMffOth alleged and proved fraud
ulent votes. There is no such allega
tion, nor can there lie any such proof in
this one. Hut the Inquirer, conceding
that Findlay is entitled to the certifi
cate, holds that what was wrong when
committed by the Democrats, is venial
when done by its own party. /Vo/<

The clause in iho Registry Act pass
ed test winter, which abolishes spring
elections, was intended by the framers
of that law as an irresistible douceur to
thafcoUmrwi.se nauseous dose. When
it was objected to that enactment that
the execution of its provisions added
largely to the expense of conducting
elections, we were instantly told that
spring elections arenow dispensed with
and that as much would be saved by
holding local elections on the day of the
general ejection as would be lost by the
frietion of the cumbrous machinery of
the Registry Act. This was not strict
ly trae, hccawea flection officers, on the
ground that their labors have been

greatly Increased, are allowed more per
diem than at former general elections;
and the blending of the local and gen
eral elections has lessened theexj>ense
in fees of election officers very little, if
at all, whilst the sums paid to assessors
and county commissioners and for print
ing registry blanks, exceed by far the
whole cost of holding spring elections.
Nevertheless, gullible people eagerly
swallowed this excuse for the Registry
Act, deeming the abolition of spring
elections a wholesome reform. We
find, however, that this very peculiar
ity which was intended to sugar-coat
'heodiouscompound of radical cunning
and "know-nothing" hate is beginning
to nauseate the loyal stomach. The
board ol return judges of Erie county,
largely radical in its com position, at its
meeting on the 15th inst., passed a res
olution recommending the repeal of the
section of the Registry Act which abol
ishes spring elections. These return
judges assign as reasons for such a course
that the holding of elections for local
officers on the day of the general elec
tion, whilst it saves no expense to the
people, causes much confusion and trou
ble. This is undoubtedly true. Rut a
graver reason for holding elections for
local officers on another day than that
on hich the general election is held, is
found in the wrong inflicted on commu
nities by nominations for municipal
and other local offices which could not
be made, if those who make them did
uot trust to party rage, aroused and in.
teusified by a fierce canvass, to give
them success at the polls. In this way
bad men get intooffice,obtain influence
and are enabled to corrupt the body
politic. For this cause, if for no other,
elections for municipal and other local
officers should be entirely separated
from those for State officers and mem
bers of the legislature. Indeed we would
go farther than the old law and include
county officers among those to be cho
sen at tbe local elections. We believe
that under such an order of things, bet
ter men would be selected to fill the
minor offices, that the central govern
ment could not wield ho great influence
in their selection, that, in short, the
people would be freer and blessed with
more faithful public servants. We,
therefore, hope that the resolution a
dopted by the Kriu return judges will
be favorably regarded by the next leg
islature and that the seetion of the Keg
istry Act which fixes the election of lo
cal officers on the day of the general
election will be repealed.
Some of the radical papers claim the
success of their party in the recent elec
tions In Pennsylvania and Ohio as evi
dence of the popular confidence in the
administration of President Grant. —
Grant's majority in Ohio was over forty
thousand, and nearly thirty thousand
in Pennsylvania, or about 7b,000 in the
two States. Now , the combined radi
cal majority for Hayes in the one and
Geary in the other shows a loss of near
ly HO,ooo. Surely tluse gentlemen are
easily gratified. They are not defeated,
and hence their glorification.
But they should bear in mind that
the Grant administration i* not a year
old yet, and that the history of parties
in this country fails to show a single in
stance wherein a successful Presidential
party was rebuked by the people the
first year of its term. The Grant ad
ministration has had the honor of com
ing nearer reaching such a distinction
tnan any of its predecessors, and his
followers are quite welcome to all the
good it will do them.
Hon. Hknky Cooper, at present
a mem her of the State Senate of Ten
nessee, was elected United States Sen
ator to succeed Senator Fowler whose
term expires on the 4th of March, 1871.
Mr. Cooper is one of the ablest law
yers in Tennesst e, and is in every way
qualified for the position to which he
lias been chosen, \Ve are sorry that
the legislature of Tentiess<*e defeated
Andrew Johnson, but in tin- new man
we have a thorough Democrat, and we
aresatisfled with that.

REFORMATION JUBILEE.
The Grand Reformation Jubilee and
Musical Festival, inaugurating the
Fair for the benefit of the Orphans'
Home at Germantown, eamt* off last
night. The Academy of Music, with
an immense audience, and its impo
sing surroundings, presented a very
brilliant scene. Great preparations ;
bad been made for this opening, and
the highest expectations were reali
zed. An overture bv an Orchestra of
forty select performers, put us in
good humor with all the musicians in
the world, and we were ready for the
curtain to rise. The music ceased, and
then slowly the curtain rolled up, and,
amid exclamations of delight and sur
prise,there was disclosed a grand sight.
Before us was the interior of a Cath
edral of the Sixteenth Century, with
its immense pillars, on each of which
hung paintings of the apostles and
saints, and
■Coruice aixifreize with boa"}' sculpture? graven.'
Far in the distance was the Altar with
crowning arches surmounting it.—
Thro' which poured a flood of light,
whilst in the aisles and crowding the
altar was a throng of five hundred
worshippers, both great and small.
The Cathedral bell rings, and then
from the tower we hear the notes of
Luther's grand old Battle Hymn,
FIN FESTE BURG,
slowly and softly played by a bugle
which is then taken up by the full chor
us below. In the second stanza, at the
words Jesuit Christ it is, (which in the
Thirty Years' War, the Sweedish ar
my under Gustavus Adolphus, always
accompanied with military music and
a salute of artillery,) was then taken
up by every voice, a full force of the
Orchestra, and the brass instruments
aud drums a perfect hurricane of mu
sic went crashing through the build
ing. . fter an introduction by May
or Fox,the
ORPHANS
from the Lome were brought upon
the stage. First came a little fellow
hobbling with his crutch followed by
fifty boys and girls ranging in age from
twelve to two years. It was an affec
ting sight, and we saw many in the
audience weep. We confess that we
felt something like a big lump in our
throat too; for who has not often felt
that whilst,
"Oft heart-sick anil sore
I've wished 1 were once more
A little chihl,"
yet I here could bono sadder lot 011 earth
than to he a Hft/e Orphan! We won
der not that many a parent who look
ed on that scene thought of their little
ones at home and wept. And when
they sung the beautiful hymn, "There
is no name" and took up the refrain :
"For there a no word ear ever heard,
So dear, so sweet, as Jeans,"
every heart was moved in response to
the prayer, God bless these little fath
erless and motherless ones! Then
they sung a Carol, the words written
and music arranged for this occasion,
the Chorus of which was joined in by
three hundred Sunday school children.
This was folio wet I by a grand vocal
and instrumental chorus from the Or
atorio of the Creation, by the Handel
and Haydn Society and was magnifi
cently renderi I. Everybody was anx
ious to hear the Young Mumnerchor.
This German Society is composed of
young men only of course, and we nev
er did think there was any music in
male voices; although, no doubt, the
ladies would differ with me here.
But when they got through with
il Wer in* suit/ hrod mtt thranpii
although we do not understand Ger
man we admit that we could not a
void joining the encore. They return
ed, and our fervent desire was that
they would give u.s a Battle Hymn in
the original ; but we were not so favor
ed.
In the absence of the Rev. Or. lvro
tel of N. Y., we had a stirring speech
from
Ex-Gov. PoLLOCK.
lle said the cause of the Orphan was
the cause of God and of humanity.
Adverting to this Reformation Jubi
lee, he said that Luther needed no
monument—it was indelibly written
in the hearts of the people—that his
name would never die, for he was the
father of regenerated nations, &c.—
This Lutheran speech from a
Presbyterian brought down the Acad
emy with storms of applause. After
this, the Chorus, "Lift up your heads,"
from the Uraturia of the Messiah was
sung with thrilling effect, and follow
ed by full Orchestra with a grand com
bined chorus of all the Societies. Af
ter an address by Rev.Mr. Schmueker,
of Reading, the Your.g Msennerchor a
gain sang and were encored ; and then
agi&nd chorus, "The Hallelujah" in
which the different parts, as they were
sung by select singers froin the differ
ent societies, fifty joints! together, and
"in linked sweetness long drawn out,"
called forth the sublimcst emotions,
and then in one grand tempest of song
carried you off,
FINALE.
A fitting close to these delightful
songs, end scenes was the singing of Old
Jlundred, nfeeribed to Mother, livery
body sings that, and if there Is a man
who keeps his mouth shut when it is
sung, we hand him over to Shakes
peare. There is no hope for his soul,
according to the above dramatic au
thority. Certainly everybody sings it,
whether in a gorgeous Cathedral or
an old log meeting house. And why
is it you always sing Old Hundred so
much louder anil open your mouth so
much wider than when you sing other
tunes? I ain sure I dont know, but
it appears to be set for the millions to
sing, and sing it they will as long as
the world moves; and if it lie true that
sounds reverberate forever, Heaven
will be full of Old Hundred. I wish
you had been at the Academy last
night, brother Mengel, to have heard
it, and helped too. Not only did the
combined force of the six societies and
all the childern, the full Orchestra and
brass instruments, numbering in all
nearly one thousand, but the whole
audience, six thousand people, rose en
masse* and joining in this doxology
swelled the sound of praise to God un- ;
til it seemed as the noise of mighty!
thunderings.
The Fair opens to day and we will j
probably give you some notes about j
it. In haste, as ever,

DEATH or r:\-uov i. to oit KITSCH, i
The official returns of the election of ;
a Governor of Pennsylvania have not
been completed until the death of a
former chief magistrate of the Com
monwealth is announced. Joseph Rit
ner died on Saturday afternoon last at
the residence of a son-in-law, in the
borough of Carlisle,at the extreijie age j
of ninety. He was born in the town- j
ship of A lease, in the county of Berks, |
of German parentage—of that sturdy,
frugal, honest and industrious stock
which contributed so largely to the
prosperity of this great State. His
early opportunities for education were
few, being confined to the winter
schools of his neighborhood. Early
in life he removed to the county of
Washington, and engaged in farming,
the occupation in which he had been
reared. Soon after his removal to
Washington county he began to take
an active part in polities, and was e
leeted by his Democratic neighbors to
the State Legislature. He served in
the legislature for a number of years,
and was chosen Speaker of the House
in the sessions of 182G and 1827. Asa
Speaker he maintained a reputation
for promptness and fairness in his de
cisions, and impartiality in the organ
ization of the committees of the body
over which he presided.
In 1827 he was appointed by Presi
dent Adams one of the Visitors to
West Point. A failure to obtain anew
nomination for the legislature at the
hands of the Democrats, compelled
him to retire for a few years from
public lite.
In 1829 Joseph Ritner was nominat
ed for Governor by the rising faction
of anti-Masons, at the head of whom
was Thaddeus Stevens. In this con
test, his vote was small. He was a
gain nominated against George Wolf
by the anti-Masons in 1832, and al
though defeated, the heavy vote which
he received gave evidence of populari
ty and strength among the people be
yond that of the faction to which he
belonged. Divisions among the Dem
ocrats in 183-3, enabled Ritner to grati
fy his long cherished ambition of be
! coming Governor. There were two
democratic candidates in the field,
! George Wolf and Henry A. Muhlen
i berg, and between them Ritner slipped
in. During his administration the
great system of Public Works inaug
urated by Gov. Wolf was continued.
Some extravagant railroad schemes
were started, among them the notori
ous Tape-worm road in Adam-county,
the ruined culverts of which are still
to be seen. Tlios. If. Burrowes, now
President of the State Agricultural
College, was Uitner's Secretary of
State; James Todd, of Fayette county,
was the Attorney General, and Thad
deus Stevens, a member of the ('anal
Board, was the leader of the adminis
tration. The large appropriation of
the public money, and what was deem
ed its reckless and wasteful expend!-
; ture In enterprises of no benefit .o the
j people, made the administration of
Ritner extremely unpopular. When
: presented for re-election, he was de
i feted by David R. Porter by an im
mense majority. At this election, for
l the first time in the political history
: of the Commonwealth, the most cor
; rupt practices were resorted to to en
' sure success. The Canal Board raised
from contractors and others employed
| on the Public Works what Thaddeus
Stevens irreverently called a Missima-
I ry Fund to be employed in elections,
and the returns of the vote at Millers
: town in Adams county, and other
! places showed a capacity for fraud in
I that early day which might well ex
| cite envy in the breast of a Covode.
I in the midst of the storm raised by
j the attempt to defeat the will of the
j people in the elections in 1838, the ad
ministration of Ritner closed. The
I lawfully chosen representatives were
i admitted to their seats and the Ruck-
I shot War ended without the shedding
j of blood,
On retiring from office Governor Rit
ner purchased a farm in Cumberland
county, on which he continued to re
side almost to the day of his death.
He never again emerged from private
life, though lie made one or two unsuc
cessful attempts to obtain office. He
was an applicant for the Treasurership
of the Mint, under President Taylor,
but, being disappointed, lie was never
again heard of In politics.
Though he was the object of much
denunciation and ridicule while Gov
ernor, yet he was a man of considera
ble intellect and force of character. Al
though a violent partisan, some of
the worst acts of his administration
must be attributed to the recklessness
of his official advisers and ttie party
spirit which prevailed at the time.
Without possessing much education, he
had no little knowledge and experi
ence in publicaffairs. He was one of the
Governors of tho "Farmer Common
wealth," aud since he owed his ele
vation to the tillers of the soil, he was
devoted to what he considered their
true interests. Since his day the "Far
mer Commonwealth" has disappeared.
The honest tillers of the ground have
lost their influence in the politics of
the State, and a new rule has begun
its downward course. Great corpora
tions, and rings of speculators and
lobby men have obtained complete
control of the government of the Com
monwealth. These agencies were
scarcely known in the administration
of Joseph Ritner.— Harrisbury Patri

A Canadian paper reports that since
Prince Arthjr landed at Halifax he
has received and replied to 159 ad

and 39 balls, danced with 310 partners,

Both houses of the Legislature of
Virginia, on the 19th iast., went into
the election of United States Senators,
and elected Lieutenant Governor John
F. I/ewis, for the long term, and Judge
John W. Johnson, of Washington coun
ty, for the short term. The Wells Re
publican candidates, Alexander Sharpe
and T. 11. Chandler, received the sup
port of their friends. The election was
by a strict party vote, with the excep
tion of three Wells members, who vo
ted for Lewis and Johnson.
The Virginia press is well pleased
with the result of the Senatorial elec
tion. The Richmond Examiner says:
We are glad that the gentlemen elec
ted possess character enough to entitle
them to public confidence, and that the
people of Virginia will have represen
tatives in the United States Senate to
whom they can commit their affairs
without the fear of betrayal. This is
one thing in which we can all rejoice.
As to what Congress will do about
"admitting Virginia" with these gen
tlemen as her Senators, we think there
is no need for apprehension. They are
true representatives of the movement
which elevated Governor Walker to
the Executive chair of Virginia; and
we cannot doubt that President Grant
will take them by the hand, if he means
to conform to the implied agreement
he entered into with Virginia in insti
gating the action of Congress last spring
for her re-admission to the Union. The
pathway laid down for this proud old
Commonwealth totread was a very nar
row chalk mark, but we have plumbed
it exactly.

Be he nck ' s P ulmoni c Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cure Con
sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspepsia, if ta
ken according to directions They are all three
to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the
stomach, relax the liver, and pat it to work : then
the appetite becomes good; the food digests and
I makes good blood ; the patient begins to grow in
: flesh : the diseased matter ripens in the lungs,
1 and he patient outgrows the disease and gets
' well. This is the only way to cure consumption
To these three medicines Dr. J. ll.Schenck. of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
! treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
! monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
\ lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora
1 tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
! slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has
j rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
j and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
| food will make good blood
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
; removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
! gall-bladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
! is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
| Pillsean do ; nothing has ever been invented ex
i eept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
of the liver like Sebeuck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption
Sehenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Aikali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much ; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
j stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
j they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
I up the secretions, anil eventually the patient
! sinks and dies.
Dr. Sohenek. in his treatment, does not try to
I stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or lever. Re
! move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Cousump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cataarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, nnless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofeourae the lungs
in sonic way are ilisoasoij. sithar lohercles, ab
soesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflanimatior and fast de
caying In suoh cases what must be done' It
is not only the luns;s that are wasting, but it is
the whole hfidy. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only chance is to take Sohenok's three uicdicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
pationt will begin to want food, it will digesteasi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesD, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy an! well. This is the only way
to cure consumption.
When there is no luug disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufflcient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Sehenek, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for tnany years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
tho very last stage of Pultuuaary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounoed his ease hope
less aud abandoned hin* to hia fate. Ho was cured
by tho aftiresaid medicines, and since- his recovery
many thousands similarly atßiotcd have used Dr.
Sohenok's preparations with tho same remarkable
success Full directions aacompanyiug each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr Sehenok, unless the patients wish their lungs
oxaminod, and for this purpose he is professional,
ly at his Principal Office, Philadelphia, every
Saturday, where all let ers for advice must he ad.
Ho is also professionally at No. 32 Bond
Street, New York, every other Tuesday, and at
